Here it is finally the HP Omen 15 Review! I made as many comparisons as possible to the y530, G7 and Helios 300! Which one is your favourite? Hit me up on discord if you have any questions! Http://discord.gg/mattmoniz
Matt, there is a version with the gtx 1070 Max Q for the same price than the helios 300. Wich one do you think i should go for power? I use Revit, Autocad, lumion, 3ds max, vray, vray, etc... i am asking cause i dont know what to expect between 1070 max q or the OC 1060 in the helios 300. Any tips? Love the channel, thanks for the several videos.
it looks like in aus they are only (now) really selling 144hz screens which I think are nicer than the 60hz screen. It would be neat if you could compare the two screen types. Also they will place in a gtx1070 (the normal one rather than the slower maxq one, I think)
For ppl who experience 80c+ Disable turbo boost by decreasing the maximum processor thing on the power plan to 99% My temps decreased by 20c and with some gained fps (mhw to be exact)
under 11$. It's easy to do www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vinyl+wrap or for cheaper (3$) products and free international shipping www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20180727005608&SearchText=vinyl+wrap
I have this laptop and have sent it back to HP for repair twice last year. Although to HP's credit, they managed to repair the laptop and send back to me within one week each time.
Got this hp omen 15 with 4k display and a 1050ti and I've got to say I'm in live with it. I got it to do school work and play games. Thanks for the review
Just got this laptop last week @ microcenter. Was blown away by the specs for $999. I got it for music production and casual gaming. The Thunderbolt 3 was essential. A 144hz screen would have been over the top amazing.
It’s a shame that my nearest Microcenter is too far away for Best Buy to price match. If anyone knows of an alternative that will let me price match, then please let me know.
@@r1thy but...there is no limitation on that...like another laptop such as acer predator...but you can put the limit in hp omen cpu using thottle stop if you want...
Great review. I also own this 2018 HP Omen (same specs as with your video) and after the BIOS update, CPU temp is stable at 85 to 90 Celsius while gaming. GPU at 80 to 82 Celsius. I just want to add that the RGB keyboard cannot be set to white (real white). Using the command center, setting it to white gives a light blue color. Anybody out there with this same HP Omen that can produce a real white keyboard color?
i got a problem with fans noise .When i pugged the charger in ,my fans begins to be very loud and very annoying sound but without the charger plugged in ,there is no noise and the fans working normal .What is the solution ?
For all those concerned about the display, Mathew was talking about the Predator Helios 300 with 144hz display. When it comes to 60hz 1080p panels, The HP has the best panel.
Got this one 4 days back a few points to share with people looking for user reviews in the comments: - 144hz GTX 1070 MaxQ model, working fine for now, it is a beast with those specs and has GSYNC support. - Tested GTA 5 and PUBG at ultra, managed to get over 90 fps, FIFA and CS:GO do justice to the 144hz panel. - Temperatures are a mess while gaming, it constantly runs at 85+ °C, the fans run so fast and loud, the laptop will just take off any moment. - Although completely different story at idle, CPU holds at 37-42°C, runs silent af. - Pretty decent battery life so far, 3-4 hrs on fill charge(no gaming).
Hey, thanks for your sharing. I'm considering to buy the Omen 15 or Lenovo Y530 with 8750H and GTX1060. I don't know which one can handle the thermal issue better. I'm afraid the hotter one would have a shorter lifespan.
Dingo01930 Thermally both would perform the same pretty much, things you've to consider for the Y530: - Nose Cam - No SSD in the lower models - Lower Battery Life - Better build quality then Omen except Omen has aluminium deck and Y530 is completely plastic built, thus Omen would have better life and rigidity. - Y530 looks bad ass in a stealthy way, Omen screams gamer. - No Thunderbolt 3 on the Y530 - Y530 and Omen screens are the same, unless you get the Omen's 144hz option, in which case Omen wins hands down. I'd go with Omen over Y530 because HP's service is more reliable in my country, overall better build, I like the gamery look, Thunderbolt 3 support and also better battery life.
Deepesh Ramnani hello there, it looks like you know what you're talking about. So, I need your help. I only have two choices now, either omen 15 or header Helios 300. Can you give me any suggestions?
Cristian Constantin depends on what you doing if you gaming yes if not no i dont really know for sure because i havent really taken it out of my house yet
Reinaldo Wunadi performance great I play alot of overwatch no problems what so ever but also use a headset because the speakers are just ok ,but for 999 i doubt you find a better performing laptop
I bought a cheaper version off Newegg. 1060 3gb and 12gb RAM, and I freaking LOVE it. The screens color is kind of meh, but that’s not the biggest deal for me. I play MMOs and they all play at 60FPS (I cap it) solo and 45-60FPS in raids. After the BIOS update the heat management is much better. Very happy with this purchase :)
If you're into gaming this laptop is perfect for you, since its cons can be buried with peripherals (touchpad [replaced with gaming mouse], laptop mic [replaced with headphone mic], etc.)
I bought this and have been using this everyday for a little over 2 weeks, if anyone has little small questions and don't feel like going to his discord, then feel free to ask.
TheMerch which model have you got with you? One with or without optimus? And how is the battery life? And any comments about the hinges, does it feel sturdy? Okay too many questions I know. I'll be very glad if you could answer them :)
@Shyam Sundar I have the Hp omen 15-dc0xxx, i7-8750h 6-core without Optimus. The battery life is as he said really about 5 hours for me, doing web stuff, youtube, etc. This is at the best battery saving option which optimizes longevity, you may get longer depending on what you are doing on the internet. The screen and hinges are quite well made and don't feel cheap at all, the screen has a bit of flexing but does not compromise build in the screen. You can open it with one hand without lifting the whole laptop up or pushing it away.
Hey. How hot does it get when you're using it on your lap ? Is it comfortable? Also if you're using it in college/school and have it on your back at all times, does it get tiring?
@Max Freedman They get quite loud when you are doing heavy gaming as should be expected really, games like Dishonored 2, Rainbow 6, Doom, etc, but in my experience they seem to turn on and cool everything down to an acceptable temp and then go back to the normal fan speeds in a short amount of time. Don't get me wrong, its not a super short amount of time but less longer than you would think considering the tempertures it reaches
I hope HP OMEN 15 and X are still available next year 2019 or atleast have a price drop. What really sold me to choose this is the IPS panel. I'm a sucker for it so much even though there's alot of competing gaming laptops on the budget Ive seen people prefer. I just love the keyboard as well. Even though its kinda cringe they still use this black/red g4m3r aesthetics, I still appreciate how they managed to make it look gorgeous nonetheless. I love black/red anywayz. Lol Here's hoping I can still get it next year!
What bothers me on this laptop is the battery life because it makes no use of the integrated CPU graphics, if I'm not gaming or during something graphics intensive I don't want to use my dedicated GPU on a battery! Any thoughts?
I just bought this beauty today, i had the alienware and predator near but when i touched both keyboards they felt hot AF...touched the omen and it felt cold...took the omen home. I knew about their specs but that little/big thing made me turn my head towards the Hp omen.
I have the older version of this laptop ... it's really a masterpiece, best laptop ever. I really recommend (gamers) to buy this laptop for some serious hard core gaming!
I got this laptop for $900 open box at micro-center. Even at the $1000 brand new price its an awesome deal! Definitely check out Microcenter for this laptop!
Buy Asus zenbook s15,,, i5 model,, it got fingerprint scanner,, fast charging,, 128gb SSD,, backlit keyboard,, nividia MX 150, and fantastic display,,with good battery backup but it lacks decent speaker,, and have awful webcam
Hey Matthew. I have a question. When I saw Dave Lee’s video about the Helios 300, he said that the sRGB is 92%, and the adobe is 61%. But you said that the Helios 300 has 98 sRGB and 76% Adobe. I wanna know why, because I’m gonna buy the Helios 300 in like 10 days.
Guys , could you please explain why the Helios predator 300 would be better for content creation when the HP Omen has nearly the same color accuracy and has an even brighter screen ?
For those wondering about the HP Omen 15 I5 8300h GTX 1050 with 144hz screen, I have this model and I highly recommend it. Great for gaming, much better than the mid 2017 one ( had it and got an upgrade to this), Screen is amazing to watch films with or for games, excellent quality, fan can be a bit loud at times but you get used to it and barely notice it with headphones on or audio, very awesome customisable keys+ amazing design of the Omen. I highly recommend this and is capable of playing mostly any AAA+ title game in the market. I’ve played Fortnite - no problem Rust - no problem, PUBG- no problem and so on. No faults at all
On HP's website the reviews are not that great and I was wondering if you experienced any of the constant crashing or software problems that some other people had
1:45 USB thunderbolt port with 4 x PCIE lanes to improve upon the 6gb GTX 1060 should you require it. Can someone answer how much loss you will incur running a GTX 1070 or better on 4 PCIE lanes ???
Hey man, can you tell me if these specs for HP OMEN 15 is okay. It's the only configuration available in my country. HP Omen 15-DC0100TX - Intel® Core i7 8750H processor - 8GB DDR4 RAM - 1TB HDD storage - NVidia® GTX1050 4GB graphics - Windows 10 OS - 15.6" Full HD IPS display
Would you go for this or the new Acer Aspire 7? They're both the same price at Microcenter and have almost the same specs but the Aspire has a 17 inch display.
Can I use it for 3D designing software, if I wanna buy an i5 variant, is it gonna work great or just fine, I am little bit confuse about that how will be i5, is it work smooth because I hate when laptops get hanged. Is it dual channel or single channel ram?
I have an OMEN, upgraded the memory to a 32GB Ballistix 2666 MHZ kit, it's only running at 2400 MHZ. Any ideas? THe original stick was a samsung, which was operating at 2666
*HP Omen 15 or. Lenovo Legion Y530* ??? both with GTX 1050Ti, FHD 144Hz display for video editing in FHD Or maybe something else i'm not yet aware of?? thx
Hey nice review, I actually bought one and your video helped me decide that. I have HP Omen 15 DC0095TX, will it support external GPU docks like the HP Accelerator?
I have the same computer and I am having heating problems, especially with the charger connected to the power, my laptop, playing Fortnite reaches 90-92 degrees. What can I do? Is there something special that I should do? I like playing a lot but I do not know too much about computers. The ambient temperature is approximately 27.
Please HELP me out I am stuck A. Hp Omen x 17” Core i7-7820hk with gtx 1080 8gb fhd120hz OR B. Hp Omen 15” Core i7-8750h with gtx 1060 6gb 4k 144hz gsync. All other spec are the same Which laptop is better for gaming? Thanks for your advice in-front.
What bothers me on this laptop is the battery life because it makes no use of the integrated CPU graphics, if I'm not gaming or during something graphics intensive I don't want to use my dedicated GPU on a battery!
What do we know about the 4K and the 144 Hertz displays as far as color gamma and mitts also have you ever done a review on external gpus that would hook up to the four-lane in the future thanks
Great review. I am about to buy this laptop. It has everything i need and i found it on good price. The problem is i have bad memories of bad HINGES from HP laptops. My questions is do you think those of the omen 15 will last?( i couldnt find anything about this year model hinges :( , thought i found that 2016 model had hinges problems). My lenovo just started to break(the hinges) and i do not want this to happen to my new pricey laptop. Thanks for the answer. Regards
Watching this video on my Omen 15! This one is on sale in Micro Center for $999 and you get a 256GB SSD instead of the 128GB one that says on the video.
If u have it, do u think its good 4 student? And artist? Or everyday use??? Pllllzzz answer. Im looking for a good laptop that do both and good 4 traviling.
It might be a bit on the heavy side if u travel with it a lot. I would recommend the XPS 15 or lenovo y530 (little bit less performance on the gpu portion) However, if u have lots of money, want something thin, and powerful get the msi gs65, aero15x, or razerblade 15
Hi Matthew, I have HP Omen 15 with 1650, Tried to connect with my new 4k tv with Usb C to HDMI and also HDMI directly but i can see only 1080 in my screen resolution . I have searched the internet to get the 4k resolution but i got nothing. I'm using HDMI2.0 cable . Can you please help me with this?
Matt you make an awesome review, you make me feel more secure with my new OMEN, even if I bought the 1050 variant, xD LOL still has thunderbolt :O Congrats bro!
Hi! Congratulations for the review, excellent. 100% One question: do you know if even the Omen 15-dc0000nl model has the possibility to deactivate or change the colors of the keyboard? Thank you
Well this one I'll consider over the helios 300. I like how the ports are mostly on the back, and a few one both sides, but its placed away from you so less hassle with wires.
Cj Vaans yeah this gives the Helios 300 a run for it's money, but I still think I'll pick the Helios for the display. Thunderbolt 3 is super nice and all, but not that big of an issue. The main thing the Helios doesn't have over everything else is cooling and Thunderbolt 3 but I plan on buying a cooling pad anyways
I think the same. When you have a 144hz display at the price range, you don't really care about the rest. It makes up for its drawbacks. Great for both gaming and photo/video editing. Plus I know from experience that Acer laptops are of good quality.
Hi Matt, I bought this laptop yesterday and was wondering that i dont play games but kids do but since i am graphic designer so does this solve the purpose of both Designer and Gamers...Thanks Jo
I think it does as it offers excellent performance on most top titles and for the graphic designing it should work good as the 2060 is only 30%slower than my friends desktop 2060
is there a way to remove keys from the keyboard, i just got mine 2 days ago and one of my keys seems to be stuck in a strange position, i'll press it and it'll stay stuck down for a while then pop back up really hard. i want to take it out but i don't wreck anything on the machine by accident
Here it is finally the HP Omen 15 Review! I made as many comparisons as possible to the y530, G7 and Helios 300! Which one is your favourite? Hit me up on discord if you have any questions! Http://discord.gg/mattmoniz
Hi Matt ! Can you please let us know the response time of the screen, is it under 5ms ?
Matt, there is a version with the gtx 1070 Max Q for the same price than the helios 300. Wich one do you think i should go for power? I use Revit, Autocad, lumion, 3ds max, vray, vray, etc... i am asking cause i dont know what to expect between 1070 max q or the OC 1060 in the helios 300. Any tips? Love the channel, thanks for the several videos.
Is it 144hz?
it looks like in aus they are only (now) really selling 144hz screens which I think are nicer than the 60hz screen. It would be neat if you could compare the two screen types. Also they will place in a gtx1070 (the normal one rather than the slower maxq one, I think)
Another thought you didn't bring much attention to it having smaller bezel which is I think the real advantage, its less of a pain in tight spaces
For ppl who experience 80c+
Disable turbo boost by decreasing the maximum processor thing on the power plan to 99%
My temps decreased by 20c and with some gained fps (mhw to be exact)
What happens if I change it to 90% would that damage anything? And would it decrease temps even more?
I undervolted the cpu, first I get 98c+ now I got 70c, 20 c less, and the performance its better :D
@SantaMuerte livEyou posted this a long time ago but could you elaborate? id love to lower my temp while playing
hp omen logo looks like cursed chinese feng shui
hey any idea how to replace the backcover panel of the laptop
vinyl wrap from amazon
Cristian Constantin how hard and how much do that stiff cost
under 11$. It's easy to do
www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vinyl+wrap
or for cheaper (3$) products and free international shipping
www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20180727005608&SearchText=vinyl+wrap
u mean its ILL OMEN
I have this laptop and have sent it back to HP for repair twice last year. Although to HP's credit, they managed to repair the laptop and send back to me within one week each time.

Here in India, there's also a 144Hz version.
Does 144hz panel have better display with increased in brightness or it has the same one.?
It’s a shame that my nearest Microcenter is too far away for Best Buy to price match.
If anyone knows of an alternative that will let me price match, then please let me know.
get the new predator helios 300 2018 it has 144hz panel
Even better, I returned the Omen 15, and picked up the new 2018 i7 Helios 500 :-)
Its getting harder to buy a gaming laptop .. Damn
Yağız Türer what do you mean?
theyre all so good, the decision is so hard
Farhan Siddiqui yeah i suppose
Max Freedman i mean there is a lot of option..It is difficult to decide
Yağız Türer true
4:57
"CPU temperature does hit 9°C"
*Boi that some fantastic cooling bruh*
omen CPU is so bad on temerature
when your cpu throttles at 9 C
you can use youre HP Omen as air condition.
@@r1thy but...there is no limitation on that...like another laptop such as acer predator...but you can put the limit in hp omen cpu using thottle stop if you want...
Nice job Matt! Did you install the latest bios? Based on your numbers I’m gonna assume that you did.
Yup! Latest bios installed = ) First thing I did after the live stream based on everyone yelling at me in the comments! haha
the temps are good indeed but the noise is crazy. Is the battery really that good with the last bios? the other reviewers weren't hitting 3h
Also, is your noise test done in performance or standard mode?
Great review. I also own this 2018 HP Omen (same specs as with your video) and after the BIOS update, CPU temp is stable at 85 to 90 Celsius while gaming. GPU at 80 to 82 Celsius. I just want to add that the RGB keyboard cannot be set to white (real white). Using the command center, setting it to white gives a light blue color. Anybody out there with this same HP Omen that can produce a real white keyboard color?
Chris Bee I was able to go full white no problem whatsoever.

For all those concerned about the display, Mathew was talking about the Predator Helios 300 with 144hz display. When it comes to 60hz 1080p panels, The HP has the best panel.
Same laptop but with 144Hz is it good also for engineering programs like 3d max or revite

Where did you see the Y530 with a 1060? As far as I can tell, it's a 1050 or 1050ti
Rasgnarok Miasku just buy Msi Gf63 bro. Search it up. You will definitely love it
Got this coming in the mail tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited!
Getting it for Christmas 2019!
I just brought it yesterday its amazing
does it really have over 4h of battery? other reviewers said it has less than 3 because of the lack of optimus
Cristian Constantin depends on what you doing if you gaming yes if not no i dont really know for sure because i havent really taken it out of my house yet
How is the performance from the Laptop & Speaker Sounds?
static 98 lucky u
Reinaldo Wunadi performance great I play alot of overwatch no problems what so ever but also use a headset because the speakers are just ok ,but for 999 i doubt you find a better performing laptop
I bought a cheaper version off Newegg. 1060 3gb and 12gb RAM, and I freaking LOVE it. The screens color is kind of meh, but that’s not the biggest deal for me. I play MMOs and they all play at 60FPS (I cap it) solo and 45-60FPS in raids. After the BIOS update the heat management is much better. Very happy with this purchase :)
Nice! It's a pretty awesome laptop. I agree the bio update helped heat management big time!
Which MMOs do you play with it?
I wonder how it does in both WoW and FF14 in raids at high settings
If you're into gaming this laptop is perfect for you, since its cons can be buried with peripherals (touchpad [replaced with gaming mouse], laptop mic [replaced with headphone mic], etc.)

ayy, ive been waiting for this, just kinda hoped it wasnt red and black....
Isabel De Leon wish they had this specs in the gunmetal gray razer body
Chris Breezy Doesn’t everybody? Add in some better cooling too
The colors are great boy
Hmm.
Get a skin from DecalGirl or something.
or wrap it yourself in any color. get vinyl wrap from amazon
Sir , can you tell us about the 2019 model . Actually it has been released and I'm planning to buy it .
Too expensive for me so I'll buy the 2018 model
I still dont understand how you dont have more subs. you make such great content
I hope HP OMEN 15 and X are still available next year 2019 or atleast have a price drop. What really sold me to choose this is the IPS panel.

Thanks, really been waiting since the stream.
I got one for $899 at Microcenter. Very happy with this laptop!
This computer is a grate buy I got mine 3 months ago and love it and Im planning on getting a egpu
i don't know what i buy omen or helios for streaming games ?/
I just bought this beauty today, i had the alienware and predator near but when i touched both keyboards they felt hot AF...touched the omen and it felt cold...took the omen home. I knew about their specs but that little/big thing made me turn my head towards the Hp omen.
I have the older version of this laptop ... it's really a masterpiece, best laptop ever. I really recommend (gamers) to buy this laptop for some serious hard core gaming!
Temperature when you play games??
Between Acer Helios 300 and hp omen 15 which one have better cooling system??
I got this laptop for $900 open box at micro-center. Even at the $1000 brand new price its an awesome deal! Definitely check out Microcenter for this laptop!
What do you think is better to buy the dell g7 or this hp omen 15 if you spend like 1300dollars on it
Still waiting for that laptop you mentioned in your live stream. The $500 dollar laptop with decent performance.
if u can spend 600 then get acer aspire 5 its pretty good with a gtx mx150
adil sheikh You can get a used GTX 1050 laptop for that much
Buy msi glm
Buy Asus zenbook s15,,, i5 model,, it got fingerprint scanner,, fast charging,, 128gb SSD,, backlit keyboard,, nividia MX 150, and fantastic display,,with good battery backup but it lacks decent speaker,, and have awful webcam
Is it worth going over the Dell G7? I am slightly bothered about the thermals, and we have a hot weather here.
omen 15DC with 144hz display vs ROG strix GL703GM
which one you will be choose ?
Hey Matthew. I have a question. When I saw Dave Lee’s video about the Helios 300, he said that the sRGB is 92%, and the adobe is 61%. But you said that the Helios 300 has 98 sRGB and 76% Adobe. I wanna know why, because I’m gonna buy the Helios 300 in like 10 days.
Feels good to see you since 20k subs to this
Thanks man! I appreciate you sticking around!
Matthew Moniz you replied wtf btw love your content
what about the 144hz screen? srgb coverage? brightness? 15 inch? price?
Wow HP stepped up in game. Heck, they should bring more premium feel to that OMEN series, like fully metallic body
Guys , could you please explain why the Helios predator 300 would be better for content creation when the HP Omen has nearly the same color accuracy and has an even brighter screen ?
Awesome review. Can this laptop be charged via Type - C thunderbolt port?
Your review is on point like at the end of a sentence
For those wondering about the HP Omen 15 I5 8300h GTX 1050 with 144hz screen, I have this model and I highly recommend it. Great for gaming, much better than the mid 2017 one ( had it and got an upgrade to this), Screen is amazing to watch films with or for games, excellent quality, fan can be a bit loud at times but you get used to it and barely notice it with headphones on or audio, very awesome customisable keys+ amazing design of the Omen. I highly recommend this and is capable of playing mostly any AAA+ title game in the market. I’ve played Fortnite - no problem Rust - no problem, PUBG- no problem and so on. No faults at all
Can I use for editing on after effects.
But is the thermals good tho?
How hot does it get while playing games?
Battery life?
On HP's website the reviews are not that great and I was wondering if you experienced any of the constant crashing or software problems that some other people had
im about to buy a new gaming laptop and my budget is 1,300 which one should i buy out of any gaming laptop
1:45 USB thunderbolt port with 4 x PCIE lanes to improve upon the 6gb GTX 1060 should you require it. Can someone answer how much loss you will incur running a GTX 1070 or better on 4 PCIE lanes ???
Hey man, can you tell me if these specs for HP OMEN 15 is okay. It's the only configuration available in my country.
HP Omen 15-DC0100TX
- Intel® Core i7 8750H processor
- 8GB DDR4 RAM
- 1TB HDD storage
- NVidia® GTX1050 4GB graphics
- Windows 10 OS
- 15.6" Full HD IPS display
Would you go for this or the new Acer Aspire 7? They're both the same price at Microcenter and have almost the same specs but the Aspire has a 17 inch display.
Hi I'm new to gaming laptops.. which one should I buy Dell G7 , helios 300, hp omen,
Do you prefer this or the predator helios 300??(8th gen 2018)
Is it Still worth it in 2023 for gaming and 3d animation?
Nice review man ;D
Skylar M yeah... This is a 7 minute video just uploaded a minute ago. You didn't watch it
First of all its none of your business secondly i have watched it all and i know the review will be nice anyway so please get lost
Hi mat .. which one is better for student ? Omen 15 or lenovo y530 ?
Can I use it for 3D designing software, if I wanna buy an i5 variant, is it gonna work great or just fine, I am little bit confuse about that how will be i5, is it work smooth because I hate when laptops get hanged.
Is it dual channel or single channel ram?
Is there going to be a review of the HP pavilion gaming 15 2018? Kind of looks like an improvement over the last one....
I have enjoyed my time so far with this laptop. I am currently using it with my oculus rift as well for some vr!
I undervolted the cpu which helped keep some of the cpu temps down a bit, but after a good play session i get mid 80s cpu give or take.
The battery life? (Do mention your laptop model too. Dc0030nr or Dc0051nr) I doubt either one of these models has optimus
Nice speedy review,love it.
Thanks Abhay!
Would you recommend this laptop for video editing?
Which one do u prefer 1060 or 1060 with max_q design?
This laptop would ve good for an architecture student? I really need some help trying to decide, anything could help
Great review on this device Matt! :) Great comparison with the other machines too.
Thanks Shattered! Tomorrows your birthday!!!
i am honestly thinking about to buy this this amd this vid makes me want to buy it more
amazing review this is how everyone needs to review, everything even the mic!
Thanks man!
You should have bought the one with the 144hz display. It has 95%srgb and 310nits brightness hence beating all the laptops in this comparison
Sir, is this laptop good for graphics and video editing also ??
I have an OMEN, upgraded the memory to a 32GB Ballistix 2666 MHZ kit, it's only running at 2400 MHZ. Any ideas? THe original stick was a samsung, which was operating at 2666
is it a lithium battery? or can i keep the charger on while its at full battery?
Thank you so much for doing this!
Youre welcome!
Omen or Legion y530? It's on the same price with 8300h+1050ti
Can the performance also refer to the HP pavilion gaming 15 with i7-8750h? Are the hardware optimization and cooling system the same?
*HP Omen 15 or. Lenovo Legion Y530* ???
both with GTX 1050Ti, FHD 144Hz display
for video editing in FHD
Or maybe something else i'm not yet aware of?? thx
Im heavily debating between the omen 15, the lenovo y730, and dell x360. It's a tough decision
Does it run VR? or is it necessary to buy a different graphics card?
Confused in buying between this HP omen and the MSI GP63 8RE Leopard which also has the GTX 1060
Hey nice review, I actually bought one and your video helped me decide that. I have HP Omen 15 DC0095TX, will it support external GPU docks like the HP Accelerator?
I have the same computer and I am having heating problems, especially with the charger connected to the power, my laptop, playing Fortnite reaches 90-92 degrees. What can I do? Is there something special that I should do? I like playing a lot but I do not know too much about computers.
The ambient temperature is approximately 27.
its fine
Do you have the latest BIOS update? A lot of people have been saying that has fixed a lot of issues regarding temperature
Put the laptop inside your refridgerator play with the door open ..no more heat.
Please HELP me out I am stuck
A. Hp Omen x 17” Core i7-7820hk with gtx 1080 8gb fhd120hz
OR
B. Hp Omen 15” Core i7-8750h with gtx 1060 6gb 4k 144hz gsync.
All other spec are the same
Which laptop is better for gaming?
Thanks for your advice in-front.
How long is the battery life?
What bothers me on this laptop is the battery life because it makes no use of the integrated CPU graphics, if I'm not gaming or during something graphics intensive I don't want to use my dedicated GPU on a battery!
What do we know about the 4K and the 144 Hertz displays as far as color gamma and mitts also have you ever done a review on external gpus that would hook up to the four-lane in the future thanks
Great review.
I am about to buy this laptop.
It has everything i need and i found it on good price.
The problem is i have bad memories of bad HINGES from HP laptops.
My questions is do you think those of the omen 15 will last?( i couldnt find anything about this year model hinges :( , thought i found that 2016 model had hinges problems).
My lenovo just started to break(the hinges) and i do not want this to happen to my new pricey laptop.
Thanks for the answer.
Regards
I went to my local best buy to check it out and its pretty damn sturdy. If I were you, I would visit my local best buy too and check it out!
Can I go with 144Hz display with Gtx1650? Or should I stick to 60hz for GTX 1650?
Please reply!
Just wish it had a more pleasant aesthetic not too gamer look
Me too!
Like the 2016 version of this laptop?
I personally think the look of this laptop is beautiful!
Try msi gs65 stealth thin... beautiful laptop
Watching this video on my Omen 15! This one is on sale in Micro Center for $999 and you get a 256GB SSD instead of the 128GB one that says on the video.
I have enough to buy this or the y530 I’d use it for school and for gaming need helping choosing between the 2 what’s do you guys recommend?
If u have it, do u think its good 4 student? And artist? Or everyday use??? Pllllzzz answer.
Im looking for a good laptop that do both and good 4 traviling.
It might be a bit on the heavy side if u travel with it a lot. I would recommend the XPS 15 or lenovo y530 (little bit less performance on the gpu portion) However, if u have lots of money, want something thin, and powerful get the msi gs65, aero15x, or razerblade 15
Niceee! I was expecting this review! Good vibes meen
Thanks Diego = )
Hi Matthew, I have HP Omen 15 with 1650, Tried to connect with my new 4k tv with Usb C to HDMI and also HDMI directly but i can see only 1080 in my screen resolution . I have searched the internet to get the 4k resolution but i got nothing. I'm using HDMI2.0 cable . Can you please help me with this?
Matt you make an awesome review, you make me feel more secure with my new OMEN, even if I bought the 1050 variant, xD LOL still has thunderbolt :O Congrats bro!
Thanks man! I'm glad I could help.
a 144htz is available just not with the gtx 1060 for some reason, but on the 17 inch displays they are.
Hi! Congratulations for the review, excellent. 100%
One question: do you know if even the Omen 15-dc0000nl model has the possibility to deactivate or change the colors of the keyboard? Thank you
yes it does
Well this one I'll consider over the helios 300. I like how the ports are mostly on the back, and a few one both sides, but its placed away from you so less hassle with wires.
Cj Vaans yeah this gives the Helios 300 a run for it's money, but I still think I'll pick the Helios for the display. Thunderbolt 3 is super nice and all, but not that big of an issue. The main thing the Helios doesn't have over everything else is cooling and Thunderbolt 3 but I plan on buying a cooling pad anyways
I think the same. When you have a 144hz display at the price range, you don't really care about the rest. It makes up for its drawbacks. Great for both gaming and photo/video editing. Plus I know from experience that Acer laptops are of good quality.
Hi Matt, I bought this laptop yesterday and was wondering that i dont play games but kids do but since i am graphic designer so does this solve the purpose of both Designer and Gamers...Thanks Jo
I think it does as it offers excellent performance on most top titles and for the graphic designing it should work good as the 2060 is only 30%slower than my friends desktop 2060
very good video so much detail and information that actually means something.
Love this laptop!
Would this be better than the Acer Helios 300?
Have you tried the 17 inch version of this with the same specs?
Which would you buy the Acer or hp?
Thanks Matthew for the great review. Would Matthew have a test on twitch streaming using this laptop?
Great over review as always
Thanks Usman!
is there a way to remove keys from the keyboard, i just got mine 2 days ago and one of my keys seems to be stuck in a strange position, i'll press it and it'll stay stuck down for a while then pop back up really hard. i want to take it out but i don't wreck anything on the machine by accident
